Tonight, LACMA’s Latin Sounds concert series continues with Catina DeLuna & the Lado B Brazilian Project, featuring Otmaro Ruiz. The group will fill the Hancock Park with Portuguese music and add a little spice to your Saturday night.

Continue the party at Muse ‘til Midnight and send off the Reigning Men exhibition in style with an after-hours party at the museum. Rhonda INTL will elevate Muse ’til Midnight to a whole new level. Prepare yourself for high fashion, low lighting, DJ sets by Kindness, J.Rocc, and Rhonda's resident DJs, plus performers and installations all night. For tickets, visit the Ticket Office.

If you’re a LACMA Local member, you’re in luck. Saturday’s Local: Muse is an opportunity to meet up with other Locals and attend Muse ’til Midnight. Before the party starts, LACMA Local members will gather for early exhibition access and a champagne toast. Join LACMA Local, come for the toast, stay for the soiree!

Recover from the party on Sunday with docent-led tours around LACMA’s meditative exhibitions. At 11 am, enjoy a tour for Alternative Dreams: 17th-Century Chinese Paintings from the Tsao Family Collection and discover works by many of the most famous painters of this period, including scholars, officials, and Buddhist monks.

At 1 pm, head over to BP Grand Entrance where a tour for Agnes Martin will meet. This extensive exhibition covers the full breadth of Martin's practice, revealing her early and little-known experiments with different media and tracing her development from abstraction to the mesmerizing grids and striped canvases that became her hallmark.

Don’t forget to visit Reigning Men one last time this weekend before it closes on Sunday. Reigning Men makes illuminating connections between history and high fashion, and traces cultural influences over the centuries. Featuring over 200 looks, the exhibiton explores the history of men’s fashionable dress from the 18th century to the present and re-examines the all-too-frequent equation of “fashion” with “femininity.”
